A few words about Klaus

Klaus,before he became a vimpire/warewolf

Our beloved Klaus(Joseph Morgan) is an Original bybrid(Half vampire-half warewolf).He's been a part of the world for more than 1000 years.His family is consisted of the first vampires ever.He has 5 siblings,Rebekah,Kole,Elija,Finn and Henrik.His mother is Esther,a witch,his father has remained unknown but his stepfather was Mikael.The village he was born is the one that latter in time would become widely known as Mystic Falls.
Ever since he's turned(more than 1000 years ago) he's been tring to bring out his warewolf side by breaking a curse that's been binding him to a moonstone.He did that because he had a very..special "dream",to create a coven of hybrids.To do that he has created the myth about the sun and moon curse,hoping that the fake curse would help him find the Petrova Doppelganger that's needed to break the curse.When he found the doppelganger,in 1492.And guess who that was..Katerina Petrova or commonly known as Kathrine Pierce.When Kat found out what he wanted her for she escaped and was turned into a vampire.Klaus thought her bloodline ended with her turn,until 500 years later he found out about Elena Gilbert.Ever since he's been making her life and the lives of the Salvatores a living hell.

Klaus now adays

Just to fill in some gaps,Klaus killed his mother,Esther,because she placed a curse on him that would keep his warewolf side sleeping,so as any logical man thought as a retaliation he killed her and then blamed his stepfather,Mikael for the murder.Ever since he's kept his whole family staked in coffins for 1000 years.
Back in the early 1920's he and Rebekah were running to escape from Mikael who had become a vampire hunter.In one of their stops in Chicago,they met Stefan,who back then was the Ripper,and became friends.In an act of anger,since his sister chose to stay with Stefan(with whom she was in love) instead of leaving with him,he stabbed her with a white oak tree dagger,the only way to neutrlalize an original.Then compelled Stefan to make him forget all about them.
His appearences began in season 2.
